Funny enough I found Smart Mesh and Aluminum Scrap in the Industrial containers outside Abandoned Mine recently, always worth a check if your passing by IMO.
I have found those there before and I check them when I'm close but I do feel like the spawns there are very low chance! Nonetheless, if you're looting mine you might as well hit em!
If you have played the 2nd map at all, you will know that the meta right now is white armor, with a trenchgun. Its so trolly it costs nothing, and is way too powerful with no commitment. No reason to run in anything but that. You can come in with blue, purple armor, come across 10 guys all with white and trenchys, and eventually, one will fucking get you....This happens every game, the amount of trenchys and white armor is crazy, they need to stop people from doing this. I tried it and my first time i killed a blue armor guy with a maelstrom...either nerf trench to be like a one bullet per mag before reload, or remove the ability to que into 2nd map with less than blue armor, or severely increase armor ratings against white guns. It legitimately is a PROBLEM.
While I agree the trench gun is too strong right now, you’ll never be able to stop people that want to do rat runs and rats will sometimes get you. I don’t think it’s a good idea to ban white armor wearers from the map though, people down bad who just wanna run some quests would just get locked out…
nice video yeah ! but i think that purple and exotic armor are just so better than blue, its just blue armor are for mid game loadout , purple and exotic are end game and mid game (for me), when u don't really care about ur k marks and ur items because u have a lot, but yeah, u are right, for mid game blue are better, cost less money, less items and less k marks to repaire.
That's not the only thing I'm saying though, the difference between the 2 just isn't worth it. Ofc it's still stronger but what you pay for it just isn't worth it in my opinion... And that in turn feels bad and turns people off from grinding to endgame which is not what you want especially since people are already grinding out max factions in like 2 weeks time...
Thanks for the feedback, I have a looting guide from CB2 that is rather accurate still that can help you in the meantime as it'll take some time to write that one up :)
The manticore at this point is almost better than the advocate in my opinion, I don’t know about y’all but it just shreds any armor tier for no reason. What’s your thoughts on it?
How do you know when you’re ready to advance to the next “stage” of the game? I feel like I’m doing good at early game, I have over 100,000 money (not a lot but decent) and am working on a bunch of quests and upgrades. I’m kinda confused on when I should start working on mid game though because even though I still need some basic ingredients I am also running out of storage space and not sure what to trade out.
When you can comfortably craft blue sets and run something like a Phasic Lancer with it without being too worried about losing it I'd say you're firmly in the midgame! I would say it's probably around the time you start running Crescent falls for the missions you'll be getting
you forgot that the trenchgun, shattergun, and shotgun meta is really big now. the pen system doesn't really matter as the curve for multiplier for damage on pen has been reduced to none thing. if you have a meta set up always have a high damage shotgun like trench and shattergun and a long range like the boltaction white or a 2x autorifle.
It's more a thing of not wanting to give it too much attention as people already get salty at rat-style players enough ;) That + the fact that I personally don't enjoy shotguns and it doesn't take away from the fact that a Brute will shred you! (you're not wrong tho)
@@CoraxGGStreams as someone who unlocked brotr and played with it many Times I can't agree with opinion that it is in good spot. Recoil is abyss al and it feels like it is shooting bb's. Damage falls off way to quickly. You basicly need to fight in shotgun range, but you cant win against white/purple shotty in close range. And at medium range you get outperformed by manticore.
@@yamatoshi5990 I get what you are saying but my opinion on that is that both the B9 and the Manticore are unbalanced right now and I honestly expect both of them to get nerfed when season 1 goes live!
@@Xalarun Actually just finished a stream where I did check it out a couple of times and did indeed get a good haul of Scrap there! But yeah, looted alot of the time xD
The actual season 1 will start on the 22nd and that is when the battle pass will be available as well! There will not be a wipe between pre-season and season one so grind to your heart’s content!!
Budget weapon meta yes but let’s just say that the bolti requires more skill then the brute for example. You’ll also start straight up losing fights with those vs meta kits (taking equal skill levels into consideration)
@@CoraxGGStreams considering a well played shotgun 3 shots ppl closerange in exotic armor i would defently go budget + there is enough endgame players that tspread the word about brute not beeing as good anymore and more than anything loosing on a 50/50 bases to white shotguns and bolts.

It should be indeed but every time I’ve gone there it’s been looted 😬

Pale ivy blossoms are best farmed on CF near the giant downed hollow tree at the bottom of the map
Thanks for adding that, I sort of forgot to think about CF when making this 😅

Thank you!
A video about loot pools would be very useful

It is but Yager has said they are looking at it going into season 1 release this Wednesday so I expect it to come down!

additional note, the trenchgun needs a nerf it can 2 tap exotic from 12 meters which a white tier gun that cost 1,200 should no way do that

The game will throw alot of Aluminum at you in the Base Camp tbh, just look around the landing pad, not many people loot that.
I'm curious, what servers do you play on because every time I've been there it's been looted :)
@@CoraxGGStreams the office and stuff is looted like 90% of my time too, guess that's why they got no space left for the Aluminum :D

meta weapons = white shotgun and bolti. you cna literally kill anything that a player throws at you.
